Conditions We Support: Metabolic Conditions

If you’re struggling with weight gain, fatigue, blood sugar swings, cravings, or prediabetes, you’re not alone. Millions of people live with metabolic dysfunction—often undiagnosed or mislabeled—without realizing their symptoms are rooted in deeper imbalances.

At Modern Holistic Health, we specialize in identifying and addressing the root causes of metabolic issues through a personalized, data-driven, and holistic lens. Instead of managing symptoms, we help your body heal and restore balance naturally.

What Are Metabolic Conditions?

Metabolism is your body’s engine. It governs how efficiently you convert food into energy, regulate blood sugar, manage hormones, and burn fat. When your metabolism is out of balance, it can lead to a wide range of health issues, including:

  • Insulin resistance
  • Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes
  • Metabolic syndrome
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Weight gain or inability to lose weight
  • Food cravings and energy crashes
  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
  • High triglycerides or cholesterol


These conditions are often interconnected and driven by inflammation, gut imbalance, toxicity, stress, and hormonal dysregulation.

Common Symptoms of Metabolic Imbalance

Many of our clients come to us with chronic symptoms that haven’t responded to traditional care, including:

  • Midsection weight gain
  • Afternoon energy crashes or sleepiness after meals
  • Brain fog and low mental clarity
  • Sugar or carb cravings
  • Low energy, especially in the morning
  • Poor sleep or waking at 3 a.m.
  • Increased hunger, even after eating
  • Skin issues, acne, or dark patches
  • Slow recovery after exercise
  • Elevated fasting glucose or insulin levels


These are all signs your metabolism needs support. And we can help.

The Root-Cause Approach to Metabolic Health

Our team at Modern Holistic Health uses advanced testing, functional medicine principles, and trauma-informed care to assess all aspects of your metabolism. We don’t chase symptoms—we ask why they’re happening, and we do it with you in mind, creating a plan that’s unique to your needs.

We evaluate:

  • Glucose and insulin regulation (fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, A1C)
  • Cortisol and stress hormone rhythm (DUTCH test, salivary panels)
  • Thyroid function (including reverse T3 antibodies)
  • Liver detox function and mitochondrial health
  • Inflammation and oxidative stress markers
  • Gut microbiome, food sensitivities, and leaky gut
  • Environmental toxicity and heavy metals
  • Nutrient status (magnesium, B vitamins, chromium, etc.)


These insights allow us to create a
personalized metabolic recovery plan that works for your biology—not a one-size-fits-all diet or pill.

The Blood Sugar - Hormone - Weight Loop

One of the most common root patterns we see is the blood sugar, hormone, and weight gain cycle. Here’s how it works:

  1. Chronic stress or poor sleep disrupts cortisol levels
  2. This raises blood sugar and insulin
  3. Elevated insulin causes fat storage and cravings
  4. Blood sugar crashes trigger hunger and fatigue
  5. The cycle repeats—and metabolism slows


We help break this cycle with:

  • Nutritional guidance for blood sugar stability
  • Nervous system regulation techniques
  • Targeted adaptogens and mitochondrial support
  • Anti-inflammatory lifestyle protocols

Our Metabolic Healing Protocols

At Modern Holistic Health, our protocols are data-informed and highly personalized. We use real lab data, functional assessments, and your unique story to create a plan that may include:

  • Low-glycemic, anti-inflammatory nutrition strategies
  • Intermittent fasting (if appropriate)
  • Gut healing and microbiome balancing
  • Liver and mitochondrial detox protocols
  • Sleep optimization and circadian rhythm repair
  • Targeted supplementation for metabolic flexibility
  • Nervous system and trauma healing
  • Coaching and habit rewiring for sustainable change


There are no gimmicks, extreme diets, or one-size-fits-all formulas—just real healing from the inside out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is insulin resistance, and why is it dangerous?
A: Insulin resistance occurs when your cells stop responding to insulin, causing blood sugar to stay elevated. Over time, it can lead to prediabetes, Type 2 diabetes, inflammation, weight gain, and cardiovascular disease.

Q: Can I reverse prediabetes naturally?
A: Yes. Many of our clients reverse prediabetes and improve blood sugar with nutrition, movement, stress reduction, and targeted supplements—all based on their lab data.

Q: Why do I have constant sugar cravings?
A: Cravings can be caused by blood sugar crashes, gut imbalances, stress, or dopamine dysregulation. We identify and resolve the root cause to rebalance cravings.

Q: Is weight gain always about calories?
A: No. Hormones, inflammation, toxins, nutrient status, and sleep all affect fat storage and metabolism. We look at the complete picture to understand your weight struggles.

Q: How do stress and trauma affect metabolism?
A: Chronic stress can cause cortisol dysregulation, elevated insulin levels, disrupted sleep, and emotional eating. Trauma may lead to nervous system imbalances that interfere with metabolic health. We promote both physiological and emotional healing.
